English leaders during the Second Weltkrieg
Oswald Mosley
(November 16, 1896 - December 3, 1980)
Chairman of the Trade Union Congress
(October 15, 1936 - December 3, 1980)
Esablished Totalist rule over the Union of Britain (1936), annexed Ireland (1937), defeated Canadian invasion fleet (1939) and entered into the Second Weltkrieg.
Man of immerse luck - Union of Britain had "won" the was against Canada because of a war between Entente Powers and American Union State, then "won" a war against German Empire thanks to Russian invasion of Europe.
English Channel is the most patrolled sea area in the world.
Strasserist Imperialist Monarchist Germany fighting British Totalism, French National Bolshevism and Russian National Populism.
Postwar world is divided between Russian National Populism and their European puppet states, Orwellian levels of Totalitarianism, Pelley's America, National Populist regime in Japan, holding Pacific States of America as a Manchurian style puppet state.
Canada and other Entente Powers of America are under American imperialist occupation, India is united under Princely Federation, China under Tian Empire, Australasia is a last bastion of normal world, with a Syndicalist government. South Africa is under white supremacist government that practices Population Reduction of Africans, Mittelafrika is divided between semi-tribal nations that fights one another. Nationalist France is engulfed in a massive war against southern provinces which want to break free.
Both Savinkov and Strasser used chemical and biological warfare against each other's nation, leaving both states devastated by a war. Sorelians nuked Rheinland in a last attempt of seeking peace with German goliath. Tians used chemical agents in their war of unification, while Mongolians just looted the lands they have conquered until being conquered by Russians. Japan, even without Manchuria is still a major powerhouse - the Home Islands escaped a threat of war - they even managed to relocate some of Fengtian industries and Japanese settlers from China.
Both Savinkov and Pelley want to nuke each other - Pelley recognizes Russia as the Dark Soul of the World, while Savinkov views America as the most dangerous country in the world - a host of corporatism and world consipracy to seize ultimate power on Earth. Japan dominates Pacific and Far East Asia fearing both AUS and Russian State. Fortress Australasia is armed to teeth, ready to defend beaches from both fanatical factions of the world.

Russia
General of Russian Army of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Isaac Asimov.
Despite Russian ubernationalism, Boris Savinkov invited Jews to Russia from countries where they opressed. When his power grew enough, he prohibited pogroms with penatlies reaching a death sentence for perpetrators and longtime Katorga heavy labour for perpetrators' family.
After end of the Second Weltkrieg, Asimov retired from the military, settled in Konstantingrad (old Constantinople) and became a Father of Russian Science Fiction.
Massive casualties suffered amongst male population of Russia during the war forced Savinkov to conscript part of women population into factories.
Road construction.
Political prisoners eating lunch.
Latvians preparing logs to be transported.
Citizens of former United Baltic Duchy were subjected to the harshest repressions in the State - by the time of Savinkov's death, Russians maintained a prularity or even outright majority in the former German provinces.
America
Holy Legion of America raids an underground Roman Catholic Church in New York City, NY.
Black Americans were often lynched by white supremacists in the South and - after expansion of Jim Crow laws - whole former United States and Canada.
Students on the University of Chicago had organized the sit-in to protest expansion of Jim Crow laws. Most of them where either killed by FBI agents or deported to the Great Plains where they were often worked to death in the labor camps.
After imposition of Pelley's regime, African Americans were ordered to leave their homes to the Black Belt, where no white could permanently settle due to Segregation policies.
Millions of Americans - syndicalists, Jews, social democrats, liberals, Catholics, Irish, Slavic, former soldiers of MacArthur's junta, Reed's state, Canadian nobility and monarchists were imprisoned in the Unionists Death Camps.
Japanese America
The most normal country for Americans to live in were Pacific States of America - Japanese puppet state on the Western Coast.
Many Americans adopted Japanese way of life to gain better standard of living.
Assasination attempt on the Japanese Crown Prince (1962) has led to mass repressions of Americans in PSA.
Peaceful demonstrations of American women was suppressed by Kempeitai with a lethal force.
Two Yamato-class superbattleships and the aircraft carrier in San Francisco.
General Governor of Japanese forces in America commits ritual suicide for failing to protect the Crown Prince.
Multiverse from the Man in the High Castle. One of them is the Kaiserreich.

Savinkovist secularism has been opposed by strenghtened religiosity of Americans. William Dudle Pelley, dictator of the American Union state believed that Jews brought irreligiosity and atheism upon the world that must be cleaned from wickedness and Dark Souls.
Dutch Rutger Hauer became the first leader of organized European Resistance together with German Adelheid Schmidt. Both were fighting an evil regime since late 1960s, seeking to liberate continent from Russian oppression.
